Anyone Else's Child React To Gerber Wagon Wheels?

I have read that Gerber Apple Wagon Wheels are gluten free, but my son seems to break out in eczema type rashes when he eats them. I went awhile without them and thought maybe his previous reactions were due to something else, but then he had one tonight and his skin broke out. I am still questioning corn so maybe that is the problem since there is corn in it. I just wonder if there is any CC issues with the wagon wheels. As for corn, sometimes he seems to react and sometimes not so I cannot figure it out.

My son loves the Gerber Wagon Wheels. We have not seen any reaction to them. (But we all know if he manages to snag a single Cheerio at day care!) So, I hope that helps you figure things out. If your son cannot have the wagon wheels, Heinze makes a gluten free rusk (brittish word for teething biscuit) that my son also loves. We quit getting them a little bit ago as he has been able to add so many other things into his diet (due to age, still can't have gluten). Point is, I do not know what grains are in it. I remember it being Tapioca, but I don't know about corn. If you are interested in them, you will have to either find someone who travels to England, or a store that can get foods imported from England, because Heinz will not ship them to you.

Good luck.

That is the only treat that my son can eat.. my cousin actually helped to make the taste of those things... I was told that they are gluten free... maybe there is somethign else in them that is causing a reaction. But you know my son often breaks out like that... I will ask her what is hiding in them ... he also likes the CARROT ones. I am thinking it may be the corn... now that you say that.... I saw a rash just like what your saying ..... exactly... was it on his trunk.. and kinda bumpy but hard... not blistery ... but rough to the touch... and it spread but stayed under the breast and ribs... but redish but sometimes it was no color ..

It's like a full-body type rash. More like rash patches all over. It is reddish in some areas and whiteish in others. They are raised rashes that looked inflamed at first and then as they dry out turn more skin tone. It is like he has an outbreak from something and then it starts to clear pretty quickly but his skin will remain dry and bumpy until the next time....I am thinking it may be the corn, but sometimes I swear he eats corn products and doesn't react much and then boom he will react crazy to something with corn. He also gets the same rash if he eats peas or green beans. Some family members think I am crazy but he definitely reacts to these foods.

My son has no problems with the wagon wheels. He loves them and eats them as snacks. He is pretty sensitive to gluten, even just licking a cookie/cracker containing gluten will make him sick.

My DS also reacted to the Apple Wagon Wheels. I had to only give him food that actually said Gluten free before I could get rid of most of his symptoms. I just when gluten-free myself because I breast feed and I'm hoping that gets rid of the rest of his excema. I have no idea if I have celiac disease but I seem to remember feeling better when on a low carb diet. Has anyone went gluten-free while nursing, and if so, has it helped?

I'm new here but thought I would chime in. I'm still bf'ing my 19mo and it makes a HUGE difference whether or not I eat gluten. I have had to cut it all out. Its funny because before he ate gluten first hand my BM didn't bother him. Now though that he's had a reaction if I eat say pizza or something high in gluten, he is miserable for a few days. SUCKS!

      Thoughts? Non-endoscopic Celiac diagnosis in two year old

      By Samanthaeileen1 · Posted

      Hello there! New to celiac community, although I have lots of family in it.  My two year old was just diagnosed with celiac disease based on symptoms and bloodwork.  symptoms (swollen belly, stomach hurting, gagging all the time, regular small vomit, fatigue, irritability, bum hurting, etc) she got tests at 18 months and her bloodwork was normal. She just got tested again at 2 1/2  because her symptoms were getting worse and these were her results :   Tissue Transglutaminase Ab, IgA 58.8 Unit/mL (High) Endomysial Antibody IgA Titer 1:5 titer (Abnormal)   Gliadin Antibody IgA < 1.0 Unit/mL Gliadin Antibody IgG 8.5 Unit/mL Immunoglobulin A 66 mg/dL Her regular pediatrician diagnosed her with celiac and told us to put her on the strict gluten free diet and that we wouldn’t do an endoscopy since it was so positive and she is so little (26lbs and two years old). I’m honestly happy with this decision, but my family is saying I should push and get an endoscopy for her. It just seems unnecessary and an endoscopy has its own risks that make me nervous. I’m certain she has celiac especially with it running in mine and my husbands family. We are now thinking of testing ourselves and our 5 year old as well.  anyways what would y’all recommend though? Should we ask for an endoscopy and a GI referral? (We are moving soon in 5 months so I think that’s part of why she didn’t refer us to GI)

      This is really helpful  I had not considered sugar alcohols or inulin as triggers. Thanks for the practical baking tips too color coding and baking G F first makes a lot of sense.

Thiamax (TTFD) plus a B-complex, and if you want benfotiamine, the Life Extension formula covers that at ~100 mg.

      High fiber can definitely cause sudden GI distress especially if it’s a new addition but accidental gluten exposure can feel similar. Keeping a simple food/symptom log and introducing new gluten-free foods one at a time can really help you spot the pattern.

      sorry a bit confused so I should take my B complex along with Objective Nutrients Thiamax for TTFD but what about a Benfotiamine to take. The Life extensions contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine together or im confusing myself. I am trying to see if I take Thiamax what should I take for Benfotiamine. Thanks EDITING after further research I see ones water soluble ones fat soluble. So I guess 100MG as you suggested of Life Extension contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride. and the Objective Nutrients Thiamax contains TTFD.     would work for me.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.
